Prediction of surface settlements due to Shield TBM excavation

  Purpose of the research

-It is known that the Shield TBM can reduce the deformation of the ground through continuous excavation and support.
-Still, unpredicted anomalies or operational errors could result the surface settlements. à requires huge costs and time
-The surface settlement prediction system and the risk analysis system for Shield TBM would be very helpful.
 

  Methodology

-Select the main parameters for surface settlement from the theoretical and analytical aspect.
-Numerically describe and analyze the ground deformation behavior due to those selected parameters.
-Construct the algorithm that predict the possibility of settlements by data-based learning technique.
